Kenyan health project captures One Media digital award

Posted on 02:55 by Unknown
How can digital media communicate critical sexual health messages? That’s the challenge undertaken by this year’s winner of the Google-supported One World Media Awards Digital Media Award winner, Jongo Love.



Jongo Love tells the stories of residents of Jongo, a fictional Nairobi slum, the complex relationships that they form and the family planning choices they make. Created by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Communication Programs’ Tupange Project, and produced by Well Told Story, a Tupange partner and previous International Digital Emmy Award winner, Jongo Love has fast won fans among urban Kenyan radio listeners.

In addition to a radio show, the project includes a Facebook campaign, YouTube videos, comic books and a Twitter feed. The characters host online live chats to give listeners and viewers the chance to ask their own questions about sexual health and safety. As the show’s makers put it, “Ni hot, ni sexy, ni idialala...ni radio show ita-blow mind Yako!! Every week on Ghetto Radio, Pwani.FM, Radio Lake Victoria, Radio Umoja na many more!”

The award citation praises the show because it “entertains but also passes on crucial information to inspire people to think about the decisions they make around relationships, sex and their future.”

Google is an ongoing supporter of the One World Media Awards, which recognize and showcase the best media content from the developing world.

Le programme de santé kényan remporte le One World Media Digital Award

Comment les médias numériques peuvent-ils communiquer des messages importants en matière de santé sexuelle ? C'est le défi qui a été lancé au lauréat de cette année du One World Media Awards dans la catégorie Digital Media Award, soutenu par Google :  Jongo Love. 

La série Jongo Love raconte les histoires des habitants de Jongo, un bidonville fictif de Nairobi, leurs relations complexes et les décisions qu'ils prennent en matière de planification familiale. Créée par  le projet Tupange de la Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Communication Programs, et produite par Well Told Story, un partenaire du projet Tupange et ancien lauréat du International Digital Emmy Award, la série s'est faite de nombreux fans parmi les auditeurs kényans. 

En plus du programme de radio, le projet comprend une campagne Facebook, des vidéos YouTube, des bandes dessinées et un compte Twitter. Les animateurs accueillent des débats en ligne permettant aux auditeurs et spectateurs de poser des questions sur la santé sexuelle et la sexualité sans risque. Comme le disent les créateurs du programme, “Ni hot, ni sexy, ni idialala...ni radio show ita-blow mind Yako!! Every week on Ghetto Radio, Pwani.FM, Radio Lake Victoria, Radio Umoja na many more!”  

Le programme a été récompensé parce qu'il « divertit tout en donnant des informations essentielles aux gens, qui les incitent à réfléchir aux choix qu’ils font en matière de relations, de sexe et d'avenir pour eux ». 

Google apporte son soutien continu aux One World Media Awards, qui sélectionnent et présentent le meilleur contenu médiatique du monde en développement.
